Rory McIlroy tees off in the first round of The Masters 2026 at 10.31am local time alongside Cameron Young and US Amateur champion Mason Howell. The world No 2 defends his title after last year's play-off win over Justin Rose, which completed his career Grand Slam. World No 1 Scottie Scheffler starts later with Robert MacIntyre and Gary Woodland.

The 90th Masters tournament gets under way Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, with a field of 91 players. McIlroy, the first player since Tiger Woods to hold all four majors simultaneously after his 2025 victory, aims to become just the fourth to win back-to-back Green Jackets. Cameron Young recently won The Players Championship and seeks to follow Scheffler and McIlroy in winning both events in the same season.
